Wind aided homer by Madrigal over Benintendi. Of course.

Reverse rallied the Cubs right back into the game....

Burger 3 2 3 2 2B (20, off Verlander), .233, .819

Who could possibly imagine Sheets making any type of defensive miscue?

Only two players even over a .700 OPS. Our very best just gotten taken out on a basepaths in a way that's not exactly going to improve his metrics for that particular aspect of the game.

Or Adam Dunn... Although Dunn was sort of decent after that NY Times/appendectomy season...when his kid was also quite sick from what I understand.

This was pretty much called exactly by so called insiders in my post above. Except for the part about the Mercedes and two different girls. Logical explanation is that 14 year old changed next to 17 in the reporting and finally to 19 now/today/currently. She's driving a car now and that requires being 18 in the DR from what I understand. So if that's the extent of it quite unseemly but no laws were broken if he was 17 and younger...although there's a big distinction between 12 and 13 in DR law about adolescence. Basically like a high school junior or senior with an 8th or 9th grader...not exactly common, but not what it was made out to be origonally. Then you have ugly spectre of families using their daughters for a free meal ticket by attaching them to a future professional athlete with high earning potential.

Well, the obvious problem is that we couldn't build a sustainable winner with the #1 farm system. So why would now technically having what is the textbook definition of a mediocre system lead to any better results, ultimately?

Cut to 2:31-2:34 Face represents treatment of Hahn by Sox fans in 2017-18…at least until Kopech blew out elbow, Giolito sucked ass and Moncada led the league in Ks.

Well, these days that’s pretty much enough to put a player on the restricted list. Especially if Hahn going after Jesse Rogers for writing the original Middleton story is true…then the mysterious name disappearance on the stadium boards.

Surely we would have routinely heard of incidents or episodes like these with other teams right after the trade deadline. If you add together cumulative digs at the White Sox, which team is #2 in most embarrassing? Orioles broadcasting? Royals? Rockies?

What is the proper amount of time before forcefully uprooting kids from a day care they have become comfortable with over the course of a number of months...removing them from favorite teachers, toys and friends? They would have treated theoretical Giolito kids the exact same way? It all just appears vindictive and petty...

Merkin interviewing Hendriks on clubhouse/chemistry “You have 26 guys in the clubhouse, and let’s be honest, athletes tend to have some egos,” Hendriks said. “You’ve got 26 guys with somewhat inflated egos, myself included, and you’re always going to butt heads. I have different philosophical views on the ways a clubhouse should be than other guys. I like to maintain positivity and harping on the good things rather than the negative things, and some people are the other way. “No way is wrong and no way is right. It just matters that you mesh together. We had some butting of heads that no one was willing to back down, no one was willing to concede. No one was willing to do that. “That there really causes a rift,” Hendriks added. “Now, hopefully we can take the egos aside and we can get to a point where we’re pushing for next year and we can get the right frame of mind, the right views on the way things should be run and everybody is going to concede at some point, everyone is going to make a compromise.”

Our old friend Hector Gomez from Machado's Friends & Family days is wrong and the complaint/suit was filed by Franco against the 17 year old girl in July...? What the heck is going on?

He said pitcher Mark Buehrle — after he was traded to Toronto in 2013 one year after signing a four-year, $58 million deal with the Marlins — “sent me several texts that were full of vitriolic and filthy language, due to the fact that he couldn’t take his pit bull dogs to Toronto, which had banned the species. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig was aghast at what Mark had written but added that he was not surprised.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-marlins-owner-loria-dishes-141809440.html

These are two of the theories out there that seem most realistic… “I thought I saw he was 17 she was 14 and they broke up when he turned 18. Then he’s supposed to come back for her more less but got married to another woman. I’m going to say that kid is his. He’s been paying that because he got her pregnant when they were 17/14 then instead of her showing up at 18 and becoming a family, he got married. So now she wanted to be paid off thinking he broke his promise to her but he’s not paying her anything. I’ll wait to see how it all plays out.” “He had been dating her since she was 14, she's older now. Her parents were okay with the whole thing (mother had given approval) until he started dating another TikTok girl, I’m assuming at that point they realized he had moved on and their daughter was not gonna come to the US and be a $182 millionaire's wife. That's when her parents started extorting him and things got out of his control. I just want him and her parents to face consequences so that the grooming and Dominican parents allowing their young daughters to maintain relationships with older men for money stops.” There had been another allegation one of the girls was targeting Marlins’ top pitching prospect Eury Perez. “One of the girls posted a statement on social media, and is not the first time that he targets a young girl from Tiktok, this is news to US media and the MLB, Dominicans had known about this for a very long time. Edit* He paid the parents an undisclosed amount of money (supposedly $200k) for their silence, the parents had also confirmed that to be true.”

Well, the second girl apparently 17 years old if that's any better...

NU has interest in head coaching candidates with ties to the school, including former New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi, former Chicago Cubs bench coach Mark Loretta and Chicago White Sox Director of Youth Baseball Mike Huff. Other names to have been floated by Morosi are White Sox assistant general manager Chris Getz, Michigan associate head coach Ben Greenspan, Pepperdine assistant Danny Worth and Washburn pitching coach Shaun Marcum. As for compiling a new staff in August, a source close to the team deemed the decision not to hire Anderson a “joke,” adding, “Admin is just tying one arm behind our backs and hoping we can be successful.”

Well, we might have done ONE thing better than the Brewers. Thought Hiura would have been a perfect change of scenery guy to come over from MIL since he's buried now over there. The defense would certainly fit in as well.

Comparing Lenyn Sosa with a mid first round June draft pick (ultimately decided by a consensus of MLB scouts that he was to the fourth best hitter in that group of NCAA position players, and many projected him as the very best power hitter of the group)...those are two quite different universes. Remember, this is a guy who played at Missouri State (SW Missouri State formerly) in Springfield, MO, not exactly the heart of the scouting/recruiting circuits. He received a LOT of exposure because of their knocking off Oklahoma State, Arkansas (won 2 out of 3) before being knocked off two games in a row by TCU. 1 1 JR Royce Lewis Minnesota Twins SS JSerra High School (San Juan Capistrano, CA) 1 2 JR Hunter Greene Cincinnati Reds RHP/SS Notre Dame High School (Sherman Oaks, CA) 1 3 JR MacKenzie Gore San Diego Padres LHP Whiteville High School (Whiteville, NC) 1 4 JR Brendan McKay Tampa Bay Rays LHP Louisville 1 5 JR Kyle Wright Atlanta Braves RHP Vanderbilt University 1 6 JR Austin Beck Oakland Athletics OF North Davidson High School (Lexington, NC) 1 7 JR Pavin Smith Arizona Diamondbacks 1B University of Virginia 1 8 JR Adam Haseley Philadelphia Phillies OF University of Virginia 1 9 JR Keston Hiura Milwaukee Brewers 2B UC Irvine 1 10 JR Jo Adell Los Angeles Angels OF Ballard High School (Louisville, KY) 1 11 JR Jake Burger Chicago White Sox 3B Missouri State University

n 2020, Burger participated in the CarShield Collegiate league, a collegiate summer league in O'Fallon, Missouri, because there was no minor league season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was his first time playing competitive baseball since Spring Training 2017.
